U.S. Box Office Has Record Breaking Year, And It Isn't Over Yet

December 30, 2016

2016's U.S. Box Office has surpassed 2015's record-setting $11.13B and the busy holiday season is not over yet. Helped by strong showings from Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, Finding Dory and others, ComScore is predicting that the year may be on its way to $11.3B or $11.4B in box office sales for the year.

"In a year that had more ups and downs than the biggest roller-coaster in the park, we will wind up with the biggest revenue-generating year ever in North American history," ComScore's Dergarabedian told Deadline, "and 2017 is likely to blow the doors off 2015 and 2016."
